BCM is such a cool game, I mean, what other game lets you send out fighters before engaging in combat? Or go into First person mode? Seriously! BCM is sweet (cannot wait for full version)

Ok, but since I'm a newbie, lol, (saw that comin, didn't ya? ) I got a few questions:
1. How do I go into first person mode?
2. On the Station Strike mission, am I supposed to dock at it or just sit back from a distance and blow it up with missles?
3. Any other controls you think I should know about

help is appreciated!!

Yeah, all of them

Seriously, you might want to start by printing out the keyboard reference docs that came with the demos. The BC3K manual from the now legacy game BC3K is also a good starting point.

Did you even take the time to read the BC3K manual, and the BCM DEMO README?

1. Hit ALT-E to exit your craft. You'll get a prompt saying "Would you like to exit your craft? y/n" or somehting like that. Hit Y. Note that weapons aren't enabled for FPS mode in the demos, due to some more stuff to beta test.

2. In Mission 2 in the Episode 1 Demo, you are to fly to the Farstar Region and attack that station. You can't dock with a hostile station, so I have no idea what you mean. I like to engage stations from extremely close range, with lasers and missiles, and all my fighters!

That should answer your questions, and PLEASE just RTFM, before you ask questions.

You're obviously talking about the Episode 1 Demo, if you're still playing the Station Strike mission.

You might want to get the Episode 2 Demo, as well, because, there are planets added into the game, in it, and there are several updates for stability. Also, if you get the E2 demo, don't forget to download the extra mission for it!
